Pros
Generous PTO, stock ownership, 401k with matching, good insurance. Stable, established company that pays its bills on time and doesn't have debt. Reasonably current technology.
Cons
Work/life balance can be acheived, but your career will suffer for it. Very few opportunities for employees who can't or won't let the company rule their lives.
Pay for non-union hourly employees is on the low end for the industry.

It’s great to hear that our efforts in creating an amazing benefits package are going noticed. Our track record of ensuring that events and expositions go off without a hitch does require some long hours occasionally, and we love providing generous PTO to attempt to offset that. Come speak with our training team so we can share with you more details about growth opportunities within our company!
Work life balance can be good at times and then it could be horrible. Opportunity for career advancement is there if you wait it
Cons
Salary is not great considering the amount of work we do, plus salaried positions do not make any OT money when we have very long weeks working on show site. Yearly annual raise is 3% which is nothing. The only significant raise you can get is if you get promoted to a more senior role. Also the traveling becomes brutal when you are gone for 10 or more days at a time for these shows.
